Theatre Projects Manitoba 2011/12 Season

Theatre Projects Manitoba has been playing on the plains since 1990. Committed to the cultivation of Manitoba plays and artists – in the past 21 years, TPM has staged more than 50 new Manitoba works. They have developed the voices of our region, choosing stories that have a connection to our community, our history and culture, and grow these new creations with passionate support. In 2011, TPM kicked off the season with a NEW adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters.

110 years after its Moscow premiere, Bruce McManus weaves a prairie story from the threads of the original and remains faithful to the tragic comedy of Chekhov’s characters in an environment often hostile to dreams. He gives us a play about the Canadian prairie experience at a time when the nation and our place in the world were on the brink of great change.
